To the Editor of the Gazette
DEAR SIR-In reply to your inquiry as
TO what, in my opinion, should be the &C
lie Of the next Democratic state colven-
ton, beg 10 submit as follows: The
last convention by its twelfth plank de-
clsred that the views of any Democrat Old
the question Of local option should not
afec. his standing in the
party. This was improperly, as
l think, construed by Prohibition Demo-
Gratis to include stste prohibition, aud
mauy thousand good Democrats, mIsled
oy this quasi consent of our highest po-
litical authority, voted for prohibition.
| do not desire to lose single Demo-
cratic vote, and at our next precinct,
county and state conventions, no ques-
lions should be asked as to how he voted
en- the 4th Cf August. He should only be
required 10 support Democratic nominees
and abide by The Democratic platform.
think the next state convention should
pronounce against prohibition and thus
put Itself in lire with the platforms of the
national Democracy sid OF the state plat
forms CT nesrly every state in the
OIIOus OUS llihOIIliCS uONC 1lSuLS GuO
feelings Ithat should be respected
ard if il shoGld be found that this course
would drive from Us any considerable
num5er OF our prohibition friends, then
should favor compromise which should
strike out the present twelfth plank and
omit reference to the question, uutil per-
! hsps two years later the opposiI g wings
might ind some basis OF
]
est conviction thst prohibition
can not be long kept out of partisan pol
itics. From present indications the Re-
tfhfbition plank in its national platform
next year: and the Democratic party,
true to its theories, its traditions and its
all (sumptuary prohibitory legislation
sunder old ties and Jor
new friends, but the lines will re,nair
substantially unchanged, and the grand
OLD Democratic party will emerge from
the smoke and carpsge Of the comics
with smother to Ge added TO the long lis
Of her victories in defense Of individus
rights snd personal liberty.

My DEAR SIR-At the close Of most
successful canvass upon the most import
ant issue ever submitted TO the people
of Texas, i. is but cue you that l should
return you the heartieSf thanks Of our
people for your manly efforts in their be-
half. Your political affiliations left you
the alternative Of taking, with perfect
consistency, my course you might deem
fit, but with the heart of q patriot you for
got yourself and gil other political
consideration and remembered only thas
the liberties Of the people Of Texas were
involved snd you threw yourself into the
breach without once counting the costs or
the result. That victory has been accom-
plished is due not only to our hosts Of
Democratic friends, but also to yourself
and your Republican associates, who IN
der the most trying circumstances have
remained true to the principles Of free
government and American civilization.
Whatever the future may have
in store for Us, occupying as
we do diff-rent party relations,
l shall always bear cheerful testi-
mony to your faithful devotion in this
canvass, and like devotion on the part
of your Republican associates. We have
together fought good fight as Demo
Gratis andRepublicsns against miserable
| principle which threatened to overthrow
ell the traditions of the fathers, aud the
victory is alike due to all our efforts, re
gardIess Of political affiliations. Con
graduating you on our glorious success:
and wishing you continued health and
prosperity snd all the blessings which at
tend tree government, beg to remain

SURVIVAL OF THE FTTrEST.
What Mr.. Benedict says Of the Gov
eminent Printing office Discharxes,

A STAR reporter to-day called Public Printer
Benedict's attention to published statement that
twelve printers were discharged last SATURDAY;
that several assistant foremeu had been
asked to resign, and that places were being made
for constituents OF Democratic congressman. The
Public Printer said that he did make some dis
charges last Saturday and he thought the number
given was correct, but he had never said that
any OF the foremen had been asked to resign
and he did not think any OF the foremea would
say 50. Though, he added. 81 would not hest
tate to ask for the resignation OF foremen II be-
lfeved the efficiency OF the office would be pro-
NOTED thereby"
Referring to the discharges OF last Saturday Mr..
Benedict said there Were some democrats among
the men discharged. ~ have now before me- he
SAID, picking up letter from his desk 1.-The letter
OF democratic Senator. He writes that he regrets
tliAI Iad iound II necessary TO discharge Mr.,
whom ne tthe SENATOR had had appointed, and
continues: But fear he has brought II about by
full citizen II he would only let whisky alone In
my reily, continued Mr.. Benedict, II say that Mr..
cept himself"
Mr.. Benedict went on to say that in a large
force, Such as employed, reasons for discharges
on persohal grounds arose almost daily. "But, he
proceeded, II have larger force than can carry
and shall reduce it. l shall make the reductions
IN my own time and the rule OF the survival OF the
ntteSt shall prevail all other things being equal
Inc PUBIC Printer did not seem inclined to
make any response to the allegation that he was
endeav0r1ng to make places for Democrats He
said If there was any object in seeking to create
Democratlc party, he would not attempt TO cor
rect that impression,
